- description: Canada's short track skaters had a great day 8 at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Samuel Girard won Canada’s first short track gold at his first Olympics in the men's 1000 m final and becomes the first North American skater to win gold at this distance. Veteran Canadian speed skater Charles Hamelin missed the final after being assessed a penalty in the semifinal. On the women’s side, Kim Boutin who was the target of online threats from Korean supporters after her first bronze, captured another one winning Canada's first-ever medal in the 1500 m. Canada's Patrick Chan finished 9th in his final Olympic figure skating appearance with 173.42 points skating to Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah, while Keegan Messing placed 12th as he skated to Medley, another Charlie Chaplin number, and scored 170.32, his new season’s best by about 9 points. Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan however won back-to-back at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games as he defended his Olympic title in the men's free skate with another powerful performance to Seimei (soundtrack) by S. Umebayashi. In the men’s hockey, Czechs beat Canada 3-2 in a shootout and in the women's, Finland beat Sweden to move on to the semifinals. In women’s curling Rachel Homan ended her losing skid and rebounded in a big way against the United States leading Canada to a dominant 11-3 victory while Kevin Koe's Canadian rink lost its first game. More gold for Britain's Lizzy Yarnold who she set a new record in women's skeleton and won by a huge margin, Switzerland's Sarah Hoefflin in freestyle skiing slopestyle, and Poland's Kamil Stock in men's in ski jumping large hill.
